Title
Resolution authorizing the execution of an agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation placing Connecting Highway designation on West Fond du Lac Avenue between West Walnut Street and West McKinley Avenue.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes the execution of an agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation placing Connecting Highway designation on West Fond du Lac Avenue between West Walnut Street and West McKinley Avenue.
Body
Whereas, Section 86.32(1), Wisconsin Statutes enables the State to designate certain marked routes of the State highway system over the streets or highways in any municipality for which the municipality will be responsible for maintenance and traffic control; and

Whereas, The character of travel service provided by this route, uniformity of maintenance, the effect on the maintaining agency and the municipality's maintenance capability predicate this designation; and

Whereas, Reimbursement for maintenance of the connecting highway shall be determined using the rates per mile provided under Section 86.32, Wisconsin Statutes; and

Whereas, The removal of the Park East Freeway and associated roadway construction created a new segment of West Fond du Lac Avenue between West Walnut Street and West McKinley Avenue; and

Whereas, This segment of West Fond du Lac Avenue carries USH 145 designation; and

Whereas, The increase in Connecting Highway lane miles caused by placing Connecting Highway status on this segment of USH 145 will result in an annual increase in State funding of $34,820.00; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Commissioner of Public Works and Comptroller are authorized to enter into an agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for the placement of Connecting Highway status on West Fond du Lac Avenue between West Walnut Street and West McKinley Avenue.
